Hi, I am VERY new to DarkBasic and I am fiddling around with sprites. The one I am working on now needs to rotate to the right and left, but I've tried the code bits suggested by several people in an earlier post and they don't work. The sprite loads fine, but when I try to get the rotate commands in there it crashes. Here is what I have for movement:

IF UPKEY()=1 THEN ypos = ypos - speed
IF DOWNKEY()=1 THEN ypos = ypos + speed
IF RIGHTKEY()=1 THEN Rotate Sprite 1,90
IF LEFTKEY()=1 THEN Rotate Sprite 1,-90

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

I've put your code into a program



I'm unsure what you are try to get, but your commands don't crash for me - unless you haven't set up the sprite before you try rotating it.

Thanks What I was trying to do was get the Sprite to rotate from the top either left or right. That way it would turn to face any direction of the screen.

Update: I tried the new code and it still doesn't work. It says that
IF RIGHTKEY()=1 THEN Rotate Sprite 1,90

is an unknown command. Any ideas why it would do that?

Just so you know, I have the original DarkBASIC and use DarkEdit.

Aha, sprite rotation is in DBPro only.

Have a look at www.underwaredesign.com under Products/Snippets/Darkbasic code libraries and look at the psprites library. You may be able to build something from that.

Thanks for your help I'll do my best. There is absolutely no sprite rotation in DB Classic? If I was able to name the Sprite as an object would it be able to rotate?

If you look at the library I've pointed you to and check the code, you'll see that it uses textured plane objects to display images. That's pretty much how DBPro does it.

Is it possible to make a sprite a texture? If the question is a dumb one chalk it up to newbie inexperience

The images that you use for sprites are also textures.

The standard way to rotate sprites is not to use sprites but 2D plains in a 3D environment.

Then you can rotate the plain. You can use the sprite image as the plain texture. This works for me

There is no answer only more questions.

In my (now rather dated game) Space Corps I made a 2D game entirely using 3D. The 'sprites' where infact just object plains with the sprite texture on them. I did this to allow the camera view to zoom in and out even though the game was specifically an overhead shoot-em-up.

It's downloadable from my webpage if you want to see it working, but that's pretty much all the effect is, a 3D plain with a texture. The bullets and missiles in the game are done the same way too.

I would use 3D Plains, but then you could get into trouble with overlapping. It would be cool if DBC Could have Sprite Rotation.

Cheers.

You could convert the image to a memblock to get the pixel colours, and use those to plot to the screen.

Also, I believe that GuyS at one time wrote a DLL to rotate images within a memblock.
